Sento Sé is a town and municipality in the state of Bahia in the North-East region of Brazil.[1][2][3][4] Sento Sé has a peculiar history. It is among the five cities that had to be flooded because of construction of the Sobradinho Dam. The new Sento Sé erected in 1976, was being gradually populated by residents of the former headquarters, which plunged into the waters.
